television and the Internet. In earlier, newspapers are used for knowing the daily activities what will happen in and around the world, and it will take minimum one day to reach that news to the people. After that, television makes it simple by showing the people about the world in videos. Now, with the extensive use of the Internet, anything what will happen in the world will be displayed on screens within a fraction of seconds through the satellites.
Secondly

, media covers a lot of news regarding sports, movies, politics and about celebrities. Celebrities are the people who are famous for their things.
For example
